Media Brief FG FLAGS OFF DISTRIBUTION OF 371 SOLAR-POWERED SYSTEMS TO BOOST PRIMARY HEALTHCARE DELIVERY Abuja, Nigeria | 12 March 2026 — The Federal Government has flagged off the distribution of 371 solar-powered energy systems to Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) across 17 states as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen frontline health facilities, improve routine immunisation services, and enhance the delivery of essential healthcare to communities across the country. The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate, performed the official flag-off at the Apo Primary Healthcare Centre in Abuja, noting that the intervention supports the Federal Government’s broader drive to revitalise primary healthcare and ensure that health facilities at the community level are better equipped to deliver lifesaving services. Prof. Pate explained that reliable energy is essential to the effective functioning of primary healthcare centres, particularly for sustaining vaccine cold chains, preserving essential medicines, enabling digital health reporting, and supporting health workers in delivering quality care. “With reliable power supply in our primary healthcare centres, vaccines remain potent, medicines are properly stored, and health workers are better supported to deliver services to mothers, children and families who rely on these facilities every day,” the Minister said. The solar-powered systems were provided through a partnership between the Federal Government and global health partners, with support from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, and UNICEF, and implemented through the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA). The Coordinating Minister commended the partners for working closely with Nigeria’s health institutions to deliver the intervention, describing it as a strong example of how global partnerships can support national priorities and deliver results at the community level. “This intervention demonstrates how partnerships, when aligned with national leadership and implemented through our institutions, can deliver real improvements in healthcare services where it matters most at the frontline,” he stated. Prof. Pate also placed the initiative within the context of the Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative, launched under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, which prioritises strengthening health systems and expanding access to quality care for Nigerians. According to the Minister, the administration’s sustained focus on revitalising primary healthcare is already yielding visible progress nationwide. “More than 4,000 primary healthcare centres have already been revitalised across the country, bringing improved services closer to communities and strengthening the foundation of Nigeria’s health system,” he said.   He emphasised that primary healthcare centres remain the backbone of the health system, providing critical services including immunisation, maternal care, disease prevention and referrals. Prof. Pate urged health workers and facility managers to ensure proper maintenance of the solar systems, while encouraging state and local governments to continue strengthening primary healthcare services within their jurisdictions. The Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare remains committed to working with partners and subnational governments to ensure that ongoing health sector reforms translate into improved health outcomes for Nigerians.

This year, IWD 2026, we call for action to dismantle the structural barriers to equal justice: discriminatory laws, weak legal protections, and harmful practices and social norms that erode the rights of women and girls. #InternationalWomensDay #WomensDay

What does equal justice look like? Simply put, your rights are protected and defended, and laws don’t just stay on the books – they get enforced. #WomensDay @nrhjn @folasadeoyebimp @AbubakarBa43181

To every man who supports women and girls through thick and thin to promote social inclusion - thank you @AbubakarBa43181 @fatimamuraina @solazed @nasiruyusuf1
